Subject: Collector's Corner.. Strange Tasc Grab Bag Auction Set To Close..

Author: Steve B

In what has to be one of the oddest auctions i have ever seen on Ebay,the Tasc
Potporri auction will close in about 5 hours(as i write this)

from the previous thread on this auction it can be seen that a supposed
"newbie"bidder made an appearance and bid over 60 times pushing the lead bidder
to a bid as it stands now of over $800

and this is for two SB boards that could very well be defective
indeed,the seller himself goes to great lengths to say he has not tested the
boards

even more bizarre is the fact that two totally brand new mint SB boards would
probably not even get this price
or at least i dont think they would and i certainly would not pay $800 for them

even the items being offered(a mixture of bags,pieces,boards,software
,cables,etc)looks like it fell off of the back of a Tasc delivery truck

John Merlino(a moderator here) even said it looked like someone raided the
Cmaster offices where he once worked(i think he was joking)

i for one will be at my computer munching on a bowl of Popcorn(buttered)
watching the auctions end
